Journal Club october 2019

In the part with the review articles you will read interesting contributions on: lactose intolerance, childhood tuberculosis, neonatal hypoglycemia, fetal inflammation and the developing immune system,…

 

In the part with the clinical studies, you may find the answer to the following questions:

  • What are the outcomes for oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy?
  • Is an antibody better than laser therapy for ROP?
  • What is the value of probiotics for paediatric functional abdominal pain disorders?
  • What are the adverse events of antibiotics used to treat acute otitis media?
  • What happened to the diversity of Pneumococcal serotype after vaccination in Europe?
  • Does a gluten-free diet lead to improved headache in children with celiac disease?
  • What are the emotional or behavioral problems seen in children with celiac disease?
  • Do commonly available round facemasks fit near-term and term infants?
  • Does formula feeding increases the risk of antibiotic prescriptions?
  • Is foot-length growth a good early marker for puberty?
  • Can Apgar score, birth weight, gender or socioeconomic status predict disability-free survival after preterm birth?

 

In the ‘best evidence section’ you can find an interesting Pro/Con debate: “Are Stimulant Medications for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Effective in the Long Term?” The link to Pubmed does not yet connect you with the manuscript itself, but you can find this on the journal website: https://www.jaacap.org/current .
